I am trying to create a field formula within a block that displays (Z Coordinate-x'x") but I can not get it to display when the units are set to Architectural.
This is the left side block in the drawing:
The Left block is just set to display the "Z" coordinate of the block, which it is doing correctly at 18', using this field:
Now the right side block in the first picture is my attempt at trying to get the tag to display that same "Z" coordinate minus 18'. So I copied the field expression displayed in the second photo, and copied it into the formula and subtracted 18'.
Which you can see here:
When the block is viewed in the model space the resulting display should be: (0'-0"), but as you guys can see in the first picture, its just displaying the default preview for the formula field: "####"
It should be noted that if I use "Decimal" units, the formula works fine, but unfortunately I need it to work in feet and inches.
Any help would be appreciated, and the dwg file is attached if you'd like to take a look.
Thank you,
Tim J.

Ok so I was having problems so I cheated a bit.
First off I moved all your linework in the block to 0,0,0. It's better to work with blocks at the base origin.
Second I placed a point at 0,0,-1'6" and put it on the defpoints layer.
Third I changed the field to just reference that point. See the attached drawing

The block on the left has an insertion point here (600feet+ from 0,0,0)
The block on the right has it over here (the 0,0,0 point)
Wonder why.

I like this idea, as I can just put the point in a frozen layer so it is unseen when in the model space. However, I'd like to keep this open for a few to see if anyone can figure out the formula I would actually need to use inside of the field. If nothing fruitful comes up then this is the best solution.
Thank you for your help.

I made a quick video how to make the formula in the field. See attached video.
